Method and system for controllably and selectively securing a portable computing device to a physical holding device

摘要

A method and system for controllably and selectively securing a portable computing device to a physical holding device includes a physical holding device for receiving a portable computing device. A locking mechanism locks the portable computing device to the physical holding device. A security application associates with the portable computing device for responding to an authorization input for generating an electronic locking mechanism control signal. An actuator mechanism responds to the electronic locking mechanism control signal to actuate the locking mechanism in locking the portable computing device to the physical holding device.
